Just got a 2004 Nissan Quest minivan, and I want to keep it clean & shiny as long as possible.

I was considering the Zymol Starter Set (Clear, HD Cleanse, Japon wax), but not that it`s slammed here or anything, but it seems there are better products out there. BTW, any opinions on Japon or the other brand-specific Zymol waxes?

Basically, I want to know what steps to take to protect a NEW car! Do I just wash it, or use a wash that removes wax n/stuff (like the HD Cleanse)?

After it`s clean, what next? I don`t need to remove any swirls, so do I need to polish the van or move right to the wax?

What products are "best"? I don`t care about price too much, as long as I don`t go much past the Zymol prices.

Leather.....do I want to put anything on in it`s current perfect condition, or wait a bit to condition it?

Thanks for helping a newbie!
